"Acceptable Violence"

Stars and Stripesreports that the military is forming its own esports teams in an attempt to look cool to young people. Some of the games it'll have teams for include Fortnite, Overwatch, League of Legends, Madden, and naturally, Call of Duty.

Besides video games, the Army is also planning to form a CrossFit team that'll compete in different competitions or tournaments.

Staff Sgt. Astin Muse, also known as Amuse, said on Facebook that the Army plans to send its new esports teams to college campuses across the country in 18-wheeler trailers to compete with college esports teams. The idea for all of this is to get the Army brand's name out there.

“Acceptable violence — video games,” Muse said.

To apply, you'll need to be an active Army member, so no civilians, members of other military branches, or National Guard members who aren't on active guard orders, as per Mashable's report.

And this isn't just a plan for the far-flung future. The Army wants to up its recruitment levels now, and it has already planned an internal Tekken tournament where the winner will be sent to PAX South to compete in January.
